Impulsivity and its Therapeutic Management in Borderline Personality Disorder: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
No treatment has been approved and recognized as effective in borderline personality disorder (BPD). Impulsivity is a key dimension because it is a predictor of remission but also suicide. The purpose of this review is to establish an inventory on the management of impulsivity in BPD and determine the effective treatments. A systematic review on the PubMed and Ovid databases was conducted up to September 2019 to December 2019 using the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria were: studies with patients with borderline personality disorder, were published between 1989 and 2019, used English-language and evaluated impulsivity before and after treatment. 41 articles selected were included for pharmacological treatment. 24 articles were found for psychotherapeutic management and one randomized study of transcranial magnetic stimulation. Based on this review, we must focus on psychotherapy in BPD, particularly the schema therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, system training of emotional predictability and problem solving and psychotherapy using mentalisation. The use of neuroleptics and mood stabilizers appears to be more effective than antidepressants. Another approach, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, may prove useful in the near future if this technique is studied further.
